Setup, Compatibility & Care
Timing: Plant these bulbs during the late summer or autumn months before the first hard frost.
Soil Preparation: Ensure the planting site features moist, well-drained soil. If your soil is heavy clay, mix in grit or compost to improve drainage.
Sunlight: Choose a location with full sun exposure to ensure the stems remain sturdy and the colors stay vivid.
Planting Depth: Bury the bulbs approximately two to three times their own height deep.
Maintenance: After the flowering period ends, allow the foliage to die back naturally; this stores energy in the bulb for next year's growth.
